Mark Wilcox is the Web Administrator for the University of North Texas (Denton), which is the 4th largest university in the state with 25,000 students. He has been in this position for over a year and a half. He has also been a Web developer, trainer and administrator for nearly 4 years. One of the first tasks he was given was to provide a common way to search for student, faculty and staff email and phone numbers. That was his first introduction to LDAP and the Netscape Directory server (the Directory server was so new then, all the help menus said "Coming Soon"). Within the year, UNT decided to join the growing number of universities that were providing courses and library resources on the Internet, which require restricted access. Because of this Mark has become very familiar with LDAP and Netscape Directory server. He spends at least an hour a day on the Netscape Directory developer's newsgroup and has recently been invited to become the Developer Champion for the Directory developer's newsgroup. There are only around 15 total Developer Champions.
